Guest Murdered
in the Library
The large, well-lighted library
was filled with students bent over
their books. Who would suspect
that in a few minutes this would
be the scene of a merciless mur-der!
No one saw the "dark stranger"
enter the library. But soon a stu-dent
looked up and frowned at
him. Other students began to look
up. Fear seized the "dark strang-er."
It clutched at him, made him
frantic. He flew crazily about
looking for an exit. We watched
him as he fled from the stares and
jeers. Now they were swatting at
him with their books as he passed.
Soon they were pursuing him!
Fleeing blindly, he sought refuge
in the reserve stacks, only to be
discovered by a student who drag-ged
him out into the light and
choked him.
In a few moments all was as be-fore
in the library. The "dark
stranger", an inquisitive moth, an-xious
to know more about Bethel,
lay dead in the waste basket.

Bloodmobile
To Be Here
October 25
The Red Cross Bloodmobile from
this region will be on campus
Tuesday, Oct. 25.
The goal set this year is to sup-ply
120 to 125 pints of blood, the
amount expected from a college
this` size. However, 190 donors
could be accommodated through-out
the day. Last year there were
less than 50 donations from
Bethel!
Miss Marion Reimer, school
nurse, and Jack Harper, freshman
experienced in Red Cross work,
are organizing the program on
campus so that all students will
be contacted. Anyone between the
ages of 18 and 59 is a prospective
blood donor. Students under 21
must have parental approval.
Bethel is co-operating with other
Twin City colleges in the Blood-mobile
program, which is spon-sored
by the St. Paul Regional
Blood Center of the American Red
Cross. A unique feature in this
program is that blood is available
free to any student or student's
relative, should there be a need
for it during the year.
Help will be needed the day the
Bloodmobile is on campus, ac-cording
to Miss Reimer. Required
each hour are one typist, one
nurse, and one able-bodied man.
Men are also needed to load and
unload equipment. Anyone inter-ested
is asked to contact- Miss
Reimer or Jack Harper.
Dr. Clarence Bass, associate
professor of theology, will be the
speaker at the Homecoming ban-quet
this year. Chuck Paton,
chairman of the social council,
said that the program for Home-coming
this year will be similar
to last years' with a "Humorama"
Friday night at eight followed by
a pep fest. The Homecoming game
will start at two and will be fol-lowed
by the banquet at six. Those
who were unable to attend the
banquet may hear Mr. Bass at
eight.
Kantzer Speaks
At Northwestern
College Seminary
"The Conservative attitude to-ward
the Revelation and Inspira-tion
of the Bible" will be the topic
of the Rev. Kenneth Kantzer,
chairman of the department of the
Bible and philosophy, Wheaton
College. The seminar beginning at
8:00 p.m. in room 10, begins a
series of seminar discussions to
be held by the Twin City Seminar
Fellowship.
The Rev. Kantzer, Ph. D., Har-vard
University, returned early in
September from fifteen months'
studies in Basle, Switzerland and
elswhere in other European cen-ters
of learning.
Among those schools represent-ed
in the Seminary Fellowship are
Luther Theological Seminary, Nor-thwestern
College, St. Paul Bible
Institute and Bethel Seminary.
Prayer
Our Father,
We thank you for men who at
the great personal cost to them-selves
are willing to assume the
burdens of election and office in
a democratic state.
We thank you that they are will-ing
to throw themselves into the
complex and morally ambiguous
problems of state, that they make
the choices that we who are less
courageous and creative later criti-cize
so readily.
For the measure of good gov-ernment
that is ours we realize
is not much due to our effort, but
to the effort of those leaders who
risk action.
"There exists a vital need for
more young Americans to advance
their education." Mr. Freeman re-ferred
to three areas in which the
need is especially pronounced.
"First," Freeman stated, "there
is the certainty that we will need
increased teaching personnel in
our schools.
"Secondly, business and industry
will demand more trained and edu-cated
man-power than our pre-sent
facilities are geared to sup-ply.
Peter Drucker, in writing on
the Promise of Automation, states
that: "the really serious social
problem is not unemployment but
the need to up-grade whole seg-ments
of the population in a very
short time."
Mr. Freeman continued to say
that great technological advances
have brought with them serious
moral implications. For all men,
science and technology have open-ed
the door for good and for evil.
"And many of the decisions that
determine the direction we take,
will be made by government thru
political channels . . ."
"This is why I appeal for res-ponsible,
intelligent participation
in public life—in politics," the
Governor stated.
"I sincerely believe that the key
to our future rests in cloaking
knowledge with understanding,
direction, meaning and purpose
thru the medium of framing our
social institutions so that God's
will will be done, and freedom can
continue on the face of the earth."
We thank you for this our gov-ernor
and pray a portion of your
wisdom upon him in the decisions
that he is continually making. Give
him strength—physical and moral
—for these tasks.
Amen.
Faith and High
Morals Stressed
B Gov.Freeman
"Great as is the need for higher education today," Governor Orville
L. Freeman told the students at convocation Thursday morning, "young
men and women with college training will not be able to fulfill their
necessary role in the modern world unless their knowledge is accom-panied
by a high moral purpose, religious faith, and a deep awareness
of their responsibilities toward humanity.

E Religious
T Council Goals You've Got To Want it Outlined
ietteu to dc Edeten
by Donn Goss, senior
Recently a chapel was spent in-forming
us where our offerings go.
My democratic reflexes demand
that I say something. I don't like
the distribution plan.
1. The plan is admittedly a
scaled-down model of the Confer-ence
budget. If we are to copy the
Conference budget why do we have
a special offering in chapel ? Why
not let Bethel students enlarge
their offering to conference
churches ?
2. 181 students at Bethel college
do not belong to the Baptist Gen-eral
Conference of America. These
students may feel little disposed
to contribute toward publishing
conference Sunday school papers
etc.
These students have committed
themselves to interest in the
Christian cause by coming to
_ Bethel. But they will be more in-clined
to give to some endeavor
they know than to a conference
foreign to them.
3. In the past, in order to in-spire
missionary offering the re-ligious
council has set an amount
which they hoped chapel offerings
would meet. Throughout the year
they reported how the work to-ward
the goal was coming. This
seems a weak stimulus to me.
We need a more positive ap-proach.
If we must call it a mis-sionary
offering why not give our
total offering to one field?
Through the year we could hear
progress reports of what the
money is doing instead of how
many dollars we need.
Perhaps we could give our
money to Bethel. It is certainly
worthy of Christian financial in-terest
and we all are interested in
its growth.
The budget program as it stands
lacks purpose. I feel that a single
project for the chapel offerings
would provide incentive for giving.
It would give the student body one
giving interest and thus promote
campus cooperation in a united
financial purpose.
Where shall it start ? How shall
it be carried out? Shall the em-phasis
be one of faith or reason
or both ? What shall one think
of the poor pupil ? What shall he
be taught ? How can the whole af-fair
be organized ?
These and similar questions are
being faced anew by protestants
in the United States, especially
as the future of their church-relat-ed
colleges is being charted. Many
time-honored answers are some-how
proving inadequate. There are
conflicting prophetic voices.
Evangelical Christians can take
heart. A recent convocation at
Jamestown college, to which doz-ens
of protestant colleges, includ-ing
Bethel, sent representatives,
provided discussion on this major
issue which evidenced much earn-est
spiritual concern and surpris-ingly
orthodox thinking.
President Rian of Jamestown
college read the key paper in
which he established the basic
thesis that Christian education
should be centered, not in man,
but in the triune God: the Father
as Creator, the Son as Redeemer,
and the Holy Spirit as the Agent
of redemption in history. Other
eminent Christian scholars went
on to point out that the student
was not to be considered as an
animal with plus characteristics,
but as a unique creation of God
and made in the image of God—
an image, however, so marred by
sin that no man-centered standard
was adequate. Nothing less than
Jesus Christ Himself must be the
standard. The great task of Chris-tian
education must be to work to-ward
the full restoration of that
image, and hence, the true full
development of personality. This
means that a Christian college
must be both positively Christian
with conscious, unique pre-suppo-sitions
and "college" with a free
search and honest respect for
truth in every area of life. This
is best done in an atmosphere of
mutual respect between teacher
and pupil, where the teacher
shares himself as well as informa-tion,
and where the pupil works
for maturity rather than being a
fact-receptacle. There will be a
belief in the dignity and worth of
each individual, freedom will be
cherished and protected, the pri-macy
of faith will be acknowledg-ed,
the right and duty of private
judgment will be protected, the
The Religious council's goal this
year is that every student take
part in some type of Christian ser-vice.
Some of the areas of service
available to students are gospel
teams, street meetings, tract dis-tribution,
visitation evangelism,
and church and Sunday school
work. The council feels that Chris-tian
service is helpful in the spirit-ual
growth of the individual, as
well as an avenue of serving Jesus
Christ.
Also as a help toward growth
spiritually, the council will have
available copies of the devotional
booklet "Quiet Time". A display of
different types of devotional ma-terial
is being planned so that
students can compare the various
devotional helps available. These
booklets can be obtained at a
nominal fee from the book store.
realization of God's purpose in the
whole society of men will be en-visioned,
God as revealed in Christ
will be the ultimate goal of faith.
Involved in these basic beliefs is
to be a love of learning for all
truth, a high sense of responsi-bility
for conserving the best of
tradition and passing it on, and a
concern for the growth of the in-dividual
that will be distinctively
Christian as this growth is guid-ed
by the Christian testimony of
the teacher, and involves a trans-formation
of life integrally b9und
up with that student's reconcilia-tion
with God that will lead out
ultimately so that the entire cul-ture
of which that student is a
part will undergo Christian trans-formation.
D. Elton Trueblood climaxed the
series of papers with a final ad-dress
that faced the problem of
how to gauge the effectiveness
of the Christian emphasis and pro-gram
within a particular college
community. These questions were
suggested: D.es it penetrate the
total life of the college? Is each
person encouraged to feel part of
the total enterprise ? Is there a,
stirring of conviction, of passion
for the Christian enterprise ? Is a
real sense of brotherhood created ?
A college may assure itself of
adequate results as it stresses ex-cellence,
emphasizes the import-ance
of the teacher, provides for
genuine "adult" education, works
religiously on atmosphere, and ex-ercises
continuing concern for
proper motivation.
Freshmen Hold
Social and Rally
"Going once — going twice —",
this was the refrain heard at the
freshman box social last Friday
night in the fieldhouse.
Each freshman girl prepared a
box filled with goodies such as
fudge, fruit and cookies. A prize
was offered for the prettiest box,
the most original box, and the fun-niest
box. Then the boxes were
auctioned off to the highest bid-der.
Each boy spent the evening
with the owner of his box and,
following the social, was required
to escort her home!
A pep rally was also held as a
part of the evening's entertain-
Dear editor:
Regarding the letter of Septem-ber
28, 1955:
The problem of meals and con-gestion
in the dining hall is a
problem with a history—it is not
a new one. The seriousness of the
situation has been intensified by
an increase of students eating in
the dining hall, this number some-times
equalling 50% more than
last year.
Besides the increased number of
students the problem is accentu-ated
at the beginning of the year
because: 1) Employees are new in
some cases. 2) Students are not
acquainted with service proced-ures.
3) Students have not yet set
eating habits in respect to the
time they arrive at the dining hall.
Except for latecomers, the sched-uled
hours are being followed quite
precisely now:
The lunch hour now extends
(and has for three weeks) from
11:50 to 1:15-30 minutes longer
than last year. Students are en-couraged
to follow the hour of
12:30 for the benefit of the em-ployees
but service has continued
for all late corners. This exten-sion
of time also gives those with
choir and chorus conflictions an
opportunity to eat in the dining
hall. The Sunday noon change
from 12:45-1:30 to 12:35-1:15 has
met with much approval.
We have tried to face the prob-lem
as objectively as possible.
Recognizing that we have out-grown
our present food service
facilities which are not designed
for cafeteria service in the first
place, we are endeavoring to give
the best service possible. Stu-dents
at present are being served
at the rate of nearly seven per
minute. Records of previous years
have been six per minute. This
gives evidence of better and more
efficient service.
Food Service Department
Dear Editor:
I serve on the college curriculum
committee and a recent Clarion
editorial entitled "French or Swe-dish"
interested me. Will you al-low
me some frank personal com-ment
?
I think with you that courses in
French as well as some in other
areas are desirable, but I think
that you have not formulated a
reasonable statement on the offer-ings
at Bethel. You seem to as-sert
1. that because most colleges
offer French Bethel should offer
French, and 2. that because Bethel
offers Swedish but not French the
modern language curriculum is
"lopsided." I am sure you will not
be offended if I observe that both
of these assertions should be evi-scerated.
1. That other colleges offer a
course is the least of why we
should offer that course. We are
carving out our own niche in high-er
education and must select
courses on their merits in relation
to our objectives. 2. In the modern
languages we offer German, Swe-dish,
and Spanish, the latter a
ment, and movies of the recent
Bethel-Itasca football game were
shown.
Roger "Whitey" Bear, chairman
of the social committee comment-ed,
"The evening was a tremen-dous
success." He added humor-ously,
"One of our goals was to
succeed in overcoming the shyness
of some of our freshmen!" Other
members of the social committee
were Kay Kern, Bobbie Wall, Jack
Kibby and Ken Albright.
Dear editor:
This is my second year on cam-pus,
and perhaps I've been walk-ing
around in a fog, but I'm not
just sure what the various groups
like the cultural council, religious
council, or social council do. There-fore
I appreciated the article about
the cultural council.
May I suggest a series of such
articles giving some of the his-tory,
the organization, and the
function of such groups ? Other
organizations such as the Student
Senate, dorm councils, and various
clubs could also be featured. There
must be more like myself who
don't know about these doings and
would appreciate such informa-tion.
B. A. B.
Editor:
Your editorials have taken on a
new psychological approach (and
a poor one) or else they have be-come
negativisitic and detrimental
to the edification of the student.
It seems to me the tenor of the
editorial in your last paper was
that Bethel "males" are sloppy
dressers just about all of the time,
so why should they put on the
"dog" for Wednesday night dress-ups
! If you think you will better
the others of our male populace
by making them mad, I think you
will "flop". You have only made
them agree with what you wrote:
"Let's kill dress-up", and I know
you don't want "the boys" to con-tinue
as sloppy dressers; rather,
as Christians we should look
sharp, even if we don't have the
style!
Let's not dig up "old bones" to
make "hot news" for "damaging"
editorials.

representative romance language;
we also offer one of the classical
languages. This is a pretty faith
language sampling. Adding French
would improve the program, al-though
I think adding upper divi-sion
language courses would be
still better. In any case, the pro-gram
is simply not "lopsided."
Why you posed Swedish and
French against each other is cur-ious
and irrelevant to your argu-ment.
You seem to assume that
Sweden is a small country and
therefore the language is relevant
only to people with Swedish back-ground.
Actually, Sweden is a
highly civilized modern country,
an outstanding social laboratory,
and has an important literature
and theology. You have reflected
a superficial notion prevalent in
America, namely, that something
is great if it is numerous or over-stuffed.
Furthermore, Swedish is
not offered "to the exclusion of
French" or of anything else. It is
offered, like other languages, on
its merits as an important cul-tural
agency—and which indeed
has a special appropriateness at
Bethel.
None of this is to imply that
your interest in this subject is
unappreciated.
Sincerely yours,
D. I. Fagerstrom
Eviscerate: T o disembowel;
hence, to deprive of force, as an
argument; to devitalize.
"If the students want something, they will take steps to get
what they want," said a teacher last year after having read edi-torials
pushing lit societies. At first it looked no one cared, be-cause
after the editorials everything still went along quite the
same as ever. Then a group of students who thought lits would be
worthwhile did start one. They wanted something!
This year very little has been said about additional campus
groups. Strangely enough, at least two groups have been organ-ized.
Students have wanted something and they have taken steps.
A literary discussion group met to organize last Thursday night
and a contemporary history and current event group got together
Friday. Both have support from interested faculty members.
Perhaps you want to see a group that would be interested in
drama, poster artwork, sociology in action, or well, you supply
your own brainstorm. They would give both the teacher and stu-dent
added experience without those formal study overtones.
They'll prove to be much fun too.
Just dreams ? Not if you DO something about it.

Basketball Practice
Starts Today
The Bethel Royal basketball
team will begin workouts at 4:30
p.m. today. This workout is for
all fellows interested in either the
varsity or B squad.
This year's Royal five is bol-stered
by returning lettermen
Howie Rekstad, Bill Conrad, Bob
Singleton, John Cedar, Frank
Burleson, Dick Abrahamson, and
Jim Almeroth. A trio of B squad
returnees in the persons of Ron
Eckert, Gene Smith, and John
Tierney, also help to reinforce
hopes of a successful season.
This year's squad will have
more height, to couple with last
season's experience. The freshmen
prospects boast three or four fel-lows
over six feet.
This year's head mentor, Del
Ray Peterson will be assisted by
George Healy, the new man on
Bethel's coaching staff. Mr. Healy
will also have charge of the "B"
squad.

completing nine of twenty passes
and Tierney two for two. There
was a total of 38 passes thrown
ix the arial circus, and half of
them were caugkt.
Lineman Sam Oakland inter-cepted
a pass and was in the

Poor Pass Defense Costly Again
Statistics didn't mean a thing
as Bethel lost to Northland 20-12
last Saturday, October 8, at North-land.
Bethel outgained them 330
yards to 206, and picked up 14
first downs to Northland's eight.
But orthland's passing was the
difference. Two of their touch-downs
were on passes and most of
their gaining was through the air.
Fumbles again played an im-portant
part in the defeat as the
Royals lost the ball four times
because of loose ball handling, the
last one on Northland's five yard
line.
The Royals' offense gained
more than it had in any previous

Dear editor:
The other day I stepped quietly
into the prayer tower in the col-lege
building wanting . a few mo-ments
alone with God.
There were papers scattered,
books open and closed lying
around, and even a T shirt or two.
This certainly was not conducive
to a devotional time. I think the
problem is apparent. It is hard
not to seethe at that kind of ir-reverence.
I hope it was just neg-lect—

made me bitter were those goons

thanks anyway from the guys who

Russian Oppression
Told by Student
A description of life under the
Russians was one of the exper-iences
Astrid Barbins, freshman,
related to the first meeting of the
German Club last Wednesday in
the lounge of Bodien residence.
Astrid related that the Russians
had forced her family out of her
homeland of Latvia and into Ger-many,
where she spent the five
years from 1944 to 1949. She told
how conditions were during the
war, how they had improved after
it, and told of her life in a DP
camp in Stuttgart in the Ameri-can
zone after the war.
She explained how she had come
to America, saying it was through
the Baptists here who provided
jobs and homes for refugees. She
concluded by expressing her im-pressions
of America and a little
of what the differences between
America and Germany are.
Kitty Finds
A Home
Dealy has finally found a home.
Last Saturday, Meme Olander,
at a loss to know what to do with
a kitten which Could not be cared
for at her home, tucked it into a
box for the night. Sunday church
time found Dealy in the back seat
of Meme's car. Afternoon came
and went, and still without a
home, poor pussy was forced to
act as odd man on a dating ex-cursion.
Running low in patience and
milk, Meme finally found a solu-tion.
A friend of a friend of hers
drives a school bus. Each day this
bus-driving friend transports
many little kitty lovers to and
from school.
And, so Dealy is now the proud
possession of one of the little ones
on Chuck Anderson's bus route.
And poor pussy is not poor pussy
anymore, but is happy in her new
home with a loving little master to
care for her all the rest of her nine
little lives.
Seniors Set Dues
Over Coffee and Cake
The Senior class voted for $5.00
per quarter dues last Monday over
coffee and cake in the student
center.
The $15.00 per year dues have
no precedent in Bethel class his-tory.
The high rate is a prepara-tory
step toward a senior class
gift.
Holding the meeting in the
coffee shop was also an innova-tion.
It proved most popular, many
members expressing themselves in
favor of continuing this practice.
My roommate, Art Erickson,
and 1, Paul Larson, were asked to
explain football as we see it.
First, football is played with a
football on a football field by
football players, primarily. The
ball is an inflated pig which is
propelled about. The acceleration
of the ball is found by the formula
acceleration equals force divided
by mass. With this formula one
can caluculate to a nicety the
force necessary to get the ball
a certain distance. This is one of
the coach's main jobs: the calcu-lations
of forces. After this is
done, each player's feet and arms
are calibrated and the rest is
easy.
For the game, a moderately
large area is cleared, usually
about 5,000 square yards (found
by the formula area equals length
times width). Twenty-two players,
assorted fans, referees, and cheer-leaders
are unwrapped, and the
scene is set. Throughout the con-test
it is a match of kinetic ener-gies,
inertias, and metabolism. The
formula for this is too compli-cated
for the layman.
At the end of the game, it is
usually to be found that the win-ner
has more points than the loser.
(Formula: simple addition).
My roommate contributes the
following:
He says that football is poetry
in motion (or motion in poetry, he
isn't sure which). The ball sails
o'er the tumultous breezes with
a beautiful, casual, spiraled aban-don.
He says there's a certain
wonderful beauty about the crisp
smack of fist on jaw, of toe on
posterior, and the delicious bong
of head on head. He swoons at
the melodious chirping of the
referees' whistles and the pretty
red handkerchiefs they wave after
somebody for Bethel makes a
touchdown.
He wishes to quote Shake-speare,
Keats, Shelley, and Ogden
Nash at this juncture to illustrate
his point, but space does not per-mit.
I should close with this thought:
the poetry value of football is
calculated by the formula p equals
9xyz2ag, where x, y, z, a, and g
are zero.
Ham Station
Radio Club Goal
An assigned radio station by next
month's meeting was the goal set
by the Radio club Monday. The
station may be used to contact
other ham operators in the United
States and other countries. In con-nection
with this the possibility of
participating in nation-wide con-tests
was discussed.
Code-practice sessions Mondays
through Fridays of each week
were established for the purpose
of teaching members to send and
receive codes and of working for
ham operators' licenses.
Club offices are appropriately
named as follows: Dwight Eric-sson,
chief operator (president);
Richard Larson, assistant chief
operator (vice president); and
Dick Dahlquist, logkeeper (secre-tary-
treasurer). The consulting en-gineer
(adviser) is R. Ted Nichols,
instructor in mathematics and
science.
A membership drive is being
sponsored by the club, and all in-terested
students are invited to
the monthly meetings.

Guest Murdered
in the Library
The large, well-lighted library
was filled with students bent over
their books. Who would suspect
that in a few minutes this would
be the scene of a merciless mur-der!
No one saw the "dark stranger"
enter the library. But soon a stu-dent
looked up and frowned at
him. Other students began to look
up. Fear seized the "dark strang-er."
It clutched at him, made him
frantic. He flew crazily about
looking for an exit. We watched
him as he fled from the stares and
jeers. Now they were swatting at
him with their books as he passed.
Soon they were pursuing him!
Fleeing blindly, he sought refuge
in the reserve stacks, only to be
discovered by a student who drag-ged
him out into the light and
choked him.
In a few moments all was as be-fore
in the library. The "dark
stranger", an inquisitive moth, an-xious
to know more about Bethel,
lay dead in the waste basket.

Bloodmobile
To Be Here
October 25
The Red Cross Bloodmobile from
this region will be on campus
Tuesday, Oct. 25.
The goal set this year is to sup-ply
120 to 125 pints of blood, the
amount expected from a college
this` size. However, 190 donors
could be accommodated through-out
the day. Last year there were
less than 50 donations from
Bethel!
Miss Marion Reimer, school
nurse, and Jack Harper, freshman
experienced in Red Cross work,
are organizing the program on
campus so that all students will
be contacted. Anyone between the
ages of 18 and 59 is a prospective
blood donor. Students under 21
must have parental approval.
Bethel is co-operating with other
Twin City colleges in the Blood-mobile
program, which is spon-sored
by the St. Paul Regional
Blood Center of the American Red
Cross. A unique feature in this
program is that blood is available
free to any student or student's
relative, should there be a need
for it during the year.
Help will be needed the day the
Bloodmobile is on campus, ac-cording
to Miss Reimer. Required
each hour are one typist, one
nurse, and one able-bodied man.
Men are also needed to load and
unload equipment. Anyone inter-ested
is asked to contact- Miss
Reimer or Jack Harper.
Dr. Clarence Bass, associate
professor of theology, will be the
speaker at the Homecoming ban-quet
this year. Chuck Paton,
chairman of the social council,
said that the program for Home-coming
this year will be similar
to last years' with a "Humorama"
Friday night at eight followed by
a pep fest. The Homecoming game
will start at two and will be fol-lowed
by the banquet at six. Those
who were unable to attend the
banquet may hear Mr. Bass at
eight.
Kantzer Speaks
At Northwestern
College Seminary
"The Conservative attitude to-ward
the Revelation and Inspira-tion
of the Bible" will be the topic
of the Rev. Kenneth Kantzer,
chairman of the department of the
Bible and philosophy, Wheaton
College. The seminar beginning at
8:00 p.m. in room 10, begins a
series of seminar discussions to
be held by the Twin City Seminar
Fellowship.
The Rev. Kantzer, Ph. D., Har-vard
University, returned early in
September from fifteen months'
studies in Basle, Switzerland and
elswhere in other European cen-ters
of learning.
Among those schools represent-ed
in the Seminary Fellowship are
Luther Theological Seminary, Nor-thwestern
College, St. Paul Bible
Institute and Bethel Seminary.
Prayer
Our Father,
We thank you for men who at
the great personal cost to them-selves
are willing to assume the
burdens of election and office in
a democratic state.
We thank you that they are will-ing
to throw themselves into the
complex and morally ambiguous
problems of state, that they make
the choices that we who are less
courageous and creative later criti-cize
so readily.
For the measure of good gov-ernment
that is ours we realize
is not much due to our effort, but
to the effort of those leaders who
risk action.
"There exists a vital need for
more young Americans to advance
their education." Mr. Freeman re-ferred
to three areas in which the
need is especially pronounced.
"First," Freeman stated, "there
is the certainty that we will need
increased teaching personnel in
our schools.
"Secondly, business and industry
will demand more trained and edu-cated
man-power than our pre-sent
facilities are geared to sup-ply.
Peter Drucker, in writing on
the Promise of Automation, states
that: "the really serious social
problem is not unemployment but
the need to up-grade whole seg-ments
of the population in a very
short time."
Mr. Freeman continued to say
that great technological advances
have brought with them serious
moral implications. For all men,
science and technology have open-ed
the door for good and for evil.
"And many of the decisions that
determine the direction we take,
will be made by government thru
political channels . . ."
"This is why I appeal for res-ponsible,
intelligent participation
in public life—in politics," the
Governor stated.
"I sincerely believe that the key
to our future rests in cloaking
knowledge with understanding,
direction, meaning and purpose
thru the medium of framing our
social institutions so that God's
will will be done, and freedom can
continue on the face of the earth."
We thank you for this our gov-ernor
and pray a portion of your
wisdom upon him in the decisions
that he is continually making. Give
him strength—physical and moral
—for these tasks.
Amen.
Faith and High
Morals Stressed
B Gov.Freeman
"Great as is the need for higher education today," Governor Orville
L. Freeman told the students at convocation Thursday morning, "young
men and women with college training will not be able to fulfill their
necessary role in the modern world unless their knowledge is accom-panied
by a high moral purpose, religious faith, and a deep awareness
of their responsibilities toward humanity.

E Religious
T Council Goals You've Got To Want it Outlined
ietteu to dc Edeten
by Donn Goss, senior
Recently a chapel was spent in-forming
us where our offerings go.
My democratic reflexes demand
that I say something. I don't like
the distribution plan.
1. The plan is admittedly a
scaled-down model of the Confer-ence
budget. If we are to copy the
Conference budget why do we have
a special offering in chapel ? Why
not let Bethel students enlarge
their offering to conference
churches ?
2. 181 students at Bethel college
do not belong to the Baptist Gen-eral
Conference of America. These
students may feel little disposed
to contribute toward publishing
conference Sunday school papers
etc.
These students have committed
themselves to interest in the
Christian cause by coming to
_ Bethel. But they will be more in-clined
to give to some endeavor
they know than to a conference
foreign to them.
3. In the past, in order to in-spire
missionary offering the re-ligious
council has set an amount
which they hoped chapel offerings
would meet. Throughout the year
they reported how the work to-ward
the goal was coming. This
seems a weak stimulus to me.
We need a more positive ap-proach.
If we must call it a mis-sionary
offering why not give our
total offering to one field?
Through the year we could hear
progress reports of what the
money is doing instead of how
many dollars we need.
Perhaps we could give our
money to Bethel. It is certainly
worthy of Christian financial in-terest
and we all are interested in
its growth.
The budget program as it stands
lacks purpose. I feel that a single
project for the chapel offerings
would provide incentive for giving.
It would give the student body one
giving interest and thus promote
campus cooperation in a united
financial purpose.
Where shall it start ? How shall
it be carried out? Shall the em-phasis
be one of faith or reason
or both ? What shall one think
of the poor pupil ? What shall he
be taught ? How can the whole af-fair
be organized ?
These and similar questions are
being faced anew by protestants
in the United States, especially
as the future of their church-relat-ed
colleges is being charted. Many
time-honored answers are some-how
proving inadequate. There are
conflicting prophetic voices.
Evangelical Christians can take
heart. A recent convocation at
Jamestown college, to which doz-ens
of protestant colleges, includ-ing
Bethel, sent representatives,
provided discussion on this major
issue which evidenced much earn-est
spiritual concern and surpris-ingly
orthodox thinking.
President Rian of Jamestown
college read the key paper in
which he established the basic
thesis that Christian education
should be centered, not in man,
but in the triune God: the Father
as Creator, the Son as Redeemer,
and the Holy Spirit as the Agent
of redemption in history. Other
eminent Christian scholars went
on to point out that the student
was not to be considered as an
animal with plus characteristics,
but as a unique creation of God
and made in the image of God—
an image, however, so marred by
sin that no man-centered standard
was adequate. Nothing less than
Jesus Christ Himself must be the
standard. The great task of Chris-tian
education must be to work to-ward
the full restoration of that
image, and hence, the true full
development of personality. This
means that a Christian college
must be both positively Christian
with conscious, unique pre-suppo-sitions
and "college" with a free
search and honest respect for
truth in every area of life. This
is best done in an atmosphere of
mutual respect between teacher
and pupil, where the teacher
shares himself as well as informa-tion,
and where the pupil works
for maturity rather than being a
fact-receptacle. There will be a
belief in the dignity and worth of
each individual, freedom will be
cherished and protected, the pri-macy
of faith will be acknowledg-ed,
the right and duty of private
judgment will be protected, the
The Religious council's goal this
year is that every student take
part in some type of Christian ser-vice.
Some of the areas of service
available to students are gospel
teams, street meetings, tract dis-tribution,
visitation evangelism,
and church and Sunday school
work. The council feels that Chris-tian
service is helpful in the spirit-ual
growth of the individual, as
well as an avenue of serving Jesus
Christ.
Also as a help toward growth
spiritually, the council will have
available copies of the devotional
booklet "Quiet Time". A display of
different types of devotional ma-terial
is being planned so that
students can compare the various
devotional helps available. These
booklets can be obtained at a
nominal fee from the book store.
realization of God's purpose in the
whole society of men will be en-visioned,
God as revealed in Christ
will be the ultimate goal of faith.
Involved in these basic beliefs is
to be a love of learning for all
truth, a high sense of responsi-bility
for conserving the best of
tradition and passing it on, and a
concern for the growth of the in-dividual
that will be distinctively
Christian as this growth is guid-ed
by the Christian testimony of
the teacher, and involves a trans-formation
of life integrally b9und
up with that student's reconcilia-tion
with God that will lead out
ultimately so that the entire cul-ture
of which that student is a
part will undergo Christian trans-formation.
D. Elton Trueblood climaxed the
series of papers with a final ad-dress
that faced the problem of
how to gauge the effectiveness
of the Christian emphasis and pro-gram
within a particular college
community. These questions were
suggested: D.es it penetrate the
total life of the college? Is each
person encouraged to feel part of
the total enterprise ? Is there a,
stirring of conviction, of passion

A college may assure itself of
adequate results as it stresses ex-cellence,
emphasizes the import-ance
of the teacher, provides for
genuine "adult" education, works
religiously on atmosphere, and ex-ercises
continuing concern for
proper motivation.
Freshmen Hold
Social and Rally
"Going once — going twice —",
this was the refrain heard at the
freshman box social last Friday
night in the fieldhouse.
Each freshman girl prepared a
box filled with goodies such as
fudge, fruit and cookies. A prize
was offered for the prettiest box,
the most original box, and the fun-niest
box. Then the boxes were
auctioned off to the highest bid-der.
Each boy spent the evening
with the owner of his box and,
following the social, was required
to escort her home!
A pep rally was also held as a
part of the evening's entertain-
Dear editor:
Regarding the letter of Septem-ber
28, 1955:
The problem of meals and con-gestion
in the dining hall is a
problem with a history—it is not
a new one. The seriousness of the
situation has been intensified by
an increase of students eating in
the dining hall, this number some-times
equalling 50% more than
last year.
Besides the increased number of
students the problem is accentu-ated
at the beginning of the year
because: 1) Employees are new in
some cases. 2) Students are not
acquainted with service proced-ures.
3) Students have not yet set
eating habits in respect to the
time they arrive at the dining hall.
Except for latecomers, the sched-uled
hours are being followed quite
precisely now:
The lunch hour now extends
(and has for three weeks) from
11:50 to 1:15-30 minutes longer
than last year. Students are en-couraged
to follow the hour of
12:30 for the benefit of the em-ployees
but service has continued
for all late corners. This exten-sion
of time also gives those with
choir and chorus conflictions an
opportunity to eat in the dining
hall. The Sunday noon change
from 12:45-1:30 to 12:35-1:15 has
met with much approval.
We have tried to face the prob-lem
as objectively as possible.
Recognizing that we have out-grown
our present food service
facilities which are not designed
for cafeteria service in the first
place, we are endeavoring to give
the best service possible. Stu-dents
at present are being served
at the rate of nearly seven per
minute. Records of previous years
have been six per minute. This
gives evidence of better and more
efficient service.
Food Service Department
Dear Editor:
I serve on the college curriculum
committee and a recent Clarion
editorial entitled "French or Swe-dish"
interested me. Will you al-low
me some frank personal com-ment
?
I think with you that courses in
French as well as some in other
areas are desirable, but I think
that you have not formulated a
reasonable statement on the offer-ings
at Bethel. You seem to as-sert
1. that because most colleges
offer French Bethel should offer
French, and 2. that because Bethel
offers Swedish but not French the
modern language curriculum is
"lopsided." I am sure you will not
be offended if I observe that both
of these assertions should be evi-scerated.
1. That other colleges offer a
course is the least of why we
should offer that course. We are
carving out our own niche in high-er
education and must select
courses on their merits in relation
to our objectives. 2. In the modern
languages we offer German, Swe-dish,
and Spanish, the latter a
ment, and movies of the recent
Bethel-Itasca football game were
shown.
Roger "Whitey" Bear, chairman
of the social committee comment-ed,
"The evening was a tremen-dous
success." He added humor-ously,
"One of our goals was to
succeed in overcoming the shyness
of some of our freshmen!" Other
members of the social committee
were Kay Kern, Bobbie Wall, Jack
Kibby and Ken Albright.
Dear editor:
This is my second year on cam-pus,
and perhaps I've been walk-ing
around in a fog, but I'm not
just sure what the various groups
like the cultural council, religious
council, or social council do. There-fore
I appreciated the article about
the cultural council.
May I suggest a series of such
articles giving some of the his-tory,
the organization, and the
function of such groups ? Other
organizations such as the Student
Senate, dorm councils, and various
clubs could also be featured. There
must be more like myself who
don't know about these doings and
would appreciate such informa-tion.
B. A. B.
Editor:
Your editorials have taken on a
new psychological approach (and
a poor one) or else they have be-come
negativisitic and detrimental
to the edification of the student.
It seems to me the tenor of the
editorial in your last paper was
that Bethel "males" are sloppy
dressers just about all of the time,
so why should they put on the
"dog" for Wednesday night dress-ups
! If you think you will better
the others of our male populace
by making them mad, I think you
will "flop". You have only made
them agree with what you wrote:
"Let's kill dress-up", and I know
you don't want "the boys" to con-tinue
as sloppy dressers; rather,
as Christians we should look
sharp, even if we don't have the
style!
Let's not dig up "old bones" to
make "hot news" for "damaging"
editorials.

representative romance language;
we also offer one of the classical
languages. This is a pretty faith
language sampling. Adding French
would improve the program, al-though
I think adding upper divi-sion
language courses would be
still better. In any case, the pro-gram
is simply not "lopsided."
Why you posed Swedish and
French against each other is cur-ious
and irrelevant to your argu-ment.
You seem to assume that
Sweden is a small country and
therefore the language is relevant
only to people with Swedish back-ground.
Actually, Sweden is a
highly civilized modern country,
an outstanding social laboratory,
and has an important literature
and theology. You have reflected
a superficial notion prevalent in
America, namely, that something
is great if it is numerous or over-stuffed.
Furthermore, Swedish is
not offered "to the exclusion of
French" or of anything else. It is
offered, like other languages, on
its merits as an important cul-tural
agency—and which indeed
has a special appropriateness at
Bethel.
None of this is to imply that
your interest in this subject is
unappreciated.
Sincerely yours,
D. I. Fagerstrom
Eviscerate: T o disembowel;
hence, to deprive of force, as an
argument; to devitalize.
"If the students want something, they will take steps to get
what they want," said a teacher last year after having read edi-torials
pushing lit societies. At first it looked no one cared, be-cause
after the editorials everything still went along quite the
same as ever. Then a group of students who thought lits would be
worthwhile did start one. They wanted something!
This year very little has been said about additional campus
groups. Strangely enough, at least two groups have been organ-ized.
Students have wanted something and they have taken steps.
A literary discussion group met to organize last Thursday night
and a contemporary history and current event group got together
Friday. Both have support from interested faculty members.
Perhaps you want to see a group that would be interested in
drama, poster artwork, sociology in action, or well, you supply
your own brainstorm. They would give both the teacher and stu-dent
added experience without those formal study overtones.
They'll prove to be much fun too.
Just dreams ? Not if you DO something about it.

at Madison, South Dakota. It was
the Trojan's homecoming and they
were out to make up for the 34-0
loss they suffered at the hands of
the Royals last year.
The same old story of fumbles
added to some poor pass defense
on the part of the Royals was a
major factor in the loss. The Tro-jans
monopolized the ball and
completely contained the Royals'

Basketball Practice
Starts Today
The Bethel Royal basketball
team will begin workouts at 4:30
p.m. today. This workout is for
all fellows interested in either the
varsity or B squad.
This year's Royal five is bol-stered
by returning lettermen
Howie Rekstad, Bill Conrad, Bob
Singleton, John Cedar, Frank
Burleson, Dick Abrahamson, and
Jim Almeroth. A trio of B squad
returnees in the persons of Ron
Eckert, Gene Smith, and John
Tierney, also help to reinforce
hopes of a successful season.
This year's squad will have
more height, to couple with last
season's experience. The freshmen
prospects boast three or four fel-lows
over six feet.
This year's head mentor, Del
Ray Peterson will be assisted by
George Healy, the new man on
Bethel's coaching staff. Mr. Healy
will also have charge of the "B"
squad.

Women's Athletic
Union Organized
Organization of women's intra-murals
on campus has taken place
through a new association appear-ing
this year known as the Wo-men's
Athletic Union.
A group of interested students
met at 3:15 last Friday, Octo-ber
7 and are meeting again to-day
at 3:15 in the gymnasium to
elect officers.
The purpose of the group is to
develop women's intramurals and
intermurals, promote attendance
and spirit at varsity contests and
provide backing for the cheer-leaders
in pep fests, etc.
Fran French and Marilyn Carl-son,
members of the athletic coun-cil,
have spearheaded this organ-ization
having consulted the
dean of the college and faculty
committee and chairman of the
athletic council for necessary ap-proval.

Husky Sam Oakland, standing
at 5 feet 11 inches and weighing
187 pounds, is Bethel's rugged
left guard. Sam, who is this year's
freshman class president, played
football at Highland Park high
school in Michigan and was presi-dent
of his high school Bible club
in his senior year. Besides his
football experience he has played
church league basketball and soft-ball.
In 1951 he joined the navy and
was stationed in Jacksonville,
Florida where he played basket-ball
for the Woodlawn Baptist
church in the Jacksonville City
League. Transferred to California
and shipped overseas in 1952 he
had opportunity to play softball
for the runner-up team in the Far
East Play-Offs. Upon returning to
the states in 1954 he again played
basketball for the navy at Moffet
Field in California.
While in the navy he served
with Fighter Squadron One Hun-dred-
Ninety Two aboard three air-craft
carriers off the coasts of
Japan, China and Korea. After his
discharge in March, 1955 he re-turned
to Detroit to work and then
spent the summer counselling boys
at Camp Michawana in Middle-ville,
Michigan.

Poor Pass Defense Costly Again
Statistics didn't mean a thing
as Bethel lost to Northland 20-12
last Saturday, October 8, at North-land.
Bethel outgained them 330
yards to 206, and picked up 14
first downs to Northland's eight.
But orthland's passing was the
difference. Two of their touch-downs
were on passes and most of
their gaining was through the air.
Fumbles again played an im-portant
part in the defeat as the
Royals lost the ball four times
because of loose ball handling, the
last one on Northland's five yard
line.
The Royals' offense gained
more than it had in any previous

Dear editor:
The other day I stepped quietly
into the prayer tower in the col-lege

alone with God.
There were papers scattered,
books open and closed lying
around, and even a T shirt or two.
This certainly was not conducive

Russian Oppression
Told by Student
A description of life under the
Russians was one of the exper-iences
Astrid Barbins, freshman,
related to the first meeting of the
German Club last Wednesday in
the lounge of Bodien residence.
Astrid related that the Russians
had forced her family out of her
homeland of Latvia and into Ger-many,
where she spent the five
years from 1944 to 1949. She told
how conditions were during the
war, how they had improved after
it, and told of her life in a DP
camp in Stuttgart in the Ameri-can
zone after the war.
She explained how she had come
to America, saying it was through
the Baptists here who provided
jobs and homes for refugees. She
concluded by expressing her im-pressions
of America and a little
of what the differences between
America and Germany are.
Kitty Finds
A Home
Dealy has finally found a home.
Last Saturday, Meme Olander,
at a loss to know what to do with
a kitten which Could not be cared
for at her home, tucked it into a
box for the night. Sunday church
time found Dealy in the back seat
of Meme's car. Afternoon came
and went, and still without a
home, poor pussy was forced to
act as odd man on a dating ex-cursion.
Running low in patience and
milk, Meme finally found a solu-tion.
A friend of a friend of hers
drives a school bus. Each day this
bus-driving friend transports
many little kitty lovers to and
from school.
And, so Dealy is now the proud
possession of one of the little ones
on Chuck Anderson's bus route.
And poor pussy is not poor pussy
anymore, but is happy in her new
home with a loving little master to
care for her all the rest of her nine
little lives.
Seniors Set Dues
Over Coffee and Cake
The Senior class voted for $5.00
per quarter dues last Monday over
coffee and cake in the student
center.
The $15.00 per year dues have
no precedent in Bethel class his-tory.
The high rate is a prepara-tory
step toward a senior class
gift.
Holding the meeting in the
coffee shop was also an innova-tion.
It proved most popular, many
members expressing themselves in
favor of continuing this practice.
My roommate, Art Erickson,
and 1, Paul Larson, were asked to
explain football as we see it.
First, football is played with a
football on a football field by
football players, primarily. The
ball is an inflated pig which is
propelled about. The acceleration
of the ball is found by the formula
acceleration equals force divided
by mass. With this formula one
can caluculate to a nicety the
force necessary to get the ball
a certain distance. This is one of
the coach's main jobs: the calcu-lations
of forces. After this is
done, each player's feet and arms
are calibrated and the rest is
easy.
For the game, a moderately
large area is cleared, usually
about 5,000 square yards (found
by the formula area equals length
times width). Twenty-two players,
assorted fans, referees, and cheer-leaders
are unwrapped, and the
scene is set. Throughout the con-test
it is a match of kinetic ener-gies,
inertias, and metabolism. The
formula for this is too compli-cated
for the layman.
At the end of the game, it is
usually to be found that the win-ner
has more points than the loser.
(Formula: simple addition).
My roommate contributes the
following:
He says that football is poetry
in motion (or motion in poetry, he
isn't sure which). The ball sails
o'er the tumultous breezes with
a beautiful, casual, spiraled aban-don.
He says there's a certain
wonderful beauty about the crisp
smack of fist on jaw, of toe on
posterior, and the delicious bong
of head on head. He swoons at
the melodious chirping of the
referees' whistles and the pretty
red handkerchiefs they wave after
somebody for Bethel makes a
touchdown.
He wishes to quote Shake-speare,
Keats, Shelley, and Ogden
Nash at this juncture to illustrate
his point, but space does not per-mit.
I should close with this thought:
the poetry value of football is
calculated by the formula p equals
9xyz2ag, where x, y, z, a, and g
are zero.
Ham Station
Radio Club Goal
An assigned radio station by next
month's meeting was the goal set
by the Radio club Monday. The
station may be used to contact
other ham operators in the United
States and other countries. In con-nection
with this the possibility of
participating in nation-wide con-tests
was discussed.
Code-practice sessions Mondays
through Fridays of each week
were established for the purpose
of teaching members to send and
receive codes and of working for
ham operators' licenses.
Club offices are appropriately
named as follows: Dwight Eric-sson,
chief operator (president);
Richard Larson, assistant chief
operator (vice president); and
Dick Dahlquist, logkeeper (secre-tary-
treasurer). The consulting en-gineer
(adviser) is R. Ted Nichols,
instructor in mathematics and
science.
A membership drive is being
sponsored by the club, and all in-terested
students are invited to
the monthly meetings.
